Welcome to September!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Sept Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself.


For my card, I die cut the front shadowbox & added the purple deckled frame on top. The cabin & trees were stamped on a lg white panel, masked then the snow & sky were sponged in. I used some thinned white acrylic paint in a mini mister to spritz the falling snow. (It’s thinned to about a 3 to 1 ratio & has been in this mister for a couple of years. Still works great!) Some extra trees were stamped & die cut to add dimension around the frame & stickles was added to the snow & trees for some sparkle.

Here are Copics I used for the cabin.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the circular image on top & greeting below, but I used different stamps, dies & colors. This is also for Diane’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. We’d love for you to join in & for all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member.

For my card, I stamped the layered flower stamps in a wreath shape in the different colors, onto a square panel. I also die 3 extra & die cut them to pop them up on top. On the pink bg, I stamped the stripe bg across it using the Picket Fence ink, then added the greeting. I used a leftover black square frame around the wreath & added some gems between the flowers.

Such a lovely site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC769)! While I loved all the pretty items, I found it was tough for me to pick, because almost everything is in whites or pastels. For the most part, I’m just not a pastel person. I was really in the mood to make a fall card so when I saw THIS cookbook cover, that’s what I chose. They looked more like fall colors & the white circle was perfect for a greeting.

For my card, I started by white embossing the leaves onto a narrow strip, then sponging the fall colors over it.  Then I white embossed them again on separate pieces of green &  rust colored card stock &  fussy cut those. The white bg was dry embossed &  I popped up the greeting on its own circle. The circle stitch frame behind the greeting was sponged to match the leaves

Here’s the inside:
